1. What are some of the previous research projects you have done?
I have done research on Jane Goodall, a big project board on an actor, whose name i cannot remember, current events, and probably some more.
2. Based on these projects, what does research mean to you?
Research means finding, grasping, and learning.
3. Describe one of your research successes or failures. Why was the experience positive or negative?
I think research failed me once in 6th grade on the big billboard project, because i can't remember the actors name that I researched. Other times have been successes.
